THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR TREATMENTS OF THE STARS

The Botox®-like effect Facial recently has been introduced as a noninvasive clinical treatment that works as a wrinkle corrector to minimize expression lines while smoothing and relaxing the skin. The addition of potent antioxidants strengthens the dermis and inhibits the breakdown of the cellular matrix, resulting in a visibly reduced appearance of fine lines and the prevention of new ones. Rodeo Drive Cosmetic Centers in La Jolla and in LotusRain Naturopathic Clinic in California, are one of the first practices in the area to offer the facial.

If a client decides that Botox is right for them, they can continue with the Botox-like facial to extend the results of the injection. For those who are not interested in the more invasive procedure, this offers a better alternative for the long term. The facial with continued use does help to restructure the skin.

How it worksThe most amazing thing about the Botox-like facial (NO BOTOX) is that you see results after the first session. This facial is ideal for someone looking to decrease the appearance of fine lines, and it helps those with hyperpig­mentation and sun damage.

Natural Serums are used. NO TOXINS!

Argireline3—one of the only peptides known to function similarly to Botox—and Myoxinol4 work together for an intense myorelaxing action. Argireline disturbs the nervous signals sent to the muscles and relaxes them. Matrixyl, retinol, copper and zinc peptides increase collagen and elastin synthesis to fight free radicals, detoxify and even out the skin tone. The combination of the strong antioxidant alpha lipoic acid and isoflavone, which has the biological activity comparable to that of the human hormone estrogen, inhibits the cell’s matrix breakdown, and works to reinforce and strengthen the skin. When clients arrive for their first visit, we start by explaining the benefits of the facial, how each of the ingredients works on the skin and how they address different problems.

The Botox-like facial helps to prevent and eliminate expression lines caused by microcon­tractions of the skin. The complexion is left smooth and relaxed with a rejuvenated and re-densified look. The facial produces not only an instant effect, but also a long-term younger-looking appearance, if properly maintained.

During a clinical evaluation, up to 85% of participants discovered a reduction of wrinkle length, and up to 88% saw a reduction of wrinkle surface area. More pronounced surface wrinkles or lines on the forehead, crow’s-feet and frown lines between the eyebrows also were reduced visibly in terms of depth, size and number. Facial muscles also were relaxed, and lines were smoothed. We also offer an accelerated add on treatment with the addition of the Micro-Channeling microneedling .
